He's the Playmofan with no name.  (There could be a film title in that.)

Or like the artist formerly know as Prince  :lol: :lol: :lol:

About those 65 cm figures: you can´t buy them from Playmobil, not even a shopowner can. All displayed figures belong to geobra and go back into their stock after end of use.
But shopowners can buy these large BIIIIIG boxes to sell specials and they come with a figure standing on a column in the middle of that box. These boxes are expensive and because of that not too many shops buy them. These are the figures you can buy if the shopowner doesn´t use the box anymore.
The prices on ebay explode right now- price for one figur ranges from 130 to 250 euros at the moment which is totally crazy.
There are 8 different figures: a girl, a young man, a postman, a THW-man, a pirate, 2 different knights and a construction worker.

Wow so it sounds like £35 each for mine was a good buy :o

I shall cherish them well :cloud9:

Ah so there are six in my pic here:



plus another knight, and a THW man


And here are my two cheeky chappies:



I'm going to have to make it my lifes ambition to get the other 6 now! :lol:

Thanks for this info, Martina :wave:

Thank you for these, Martina :)

I'm not sure I like the look of that knight really :-\ - It looks like a kid in themed pyjamas :P

The only problem with new toyshops is that they have no old sets!!!




well and the old toystores don't have very old sets perhaps if some sets are big and expensive to find them if they are 4-5 years discontinioud not older..... in large toystores there is not any possibility to have sets older than a year (jumbo, moustakas etc... in greece)

Do you guys think Geobra will officially release these 65cm klickies?

Have you guys ever been to the Malta airport?? I think those 10feet tall (my guesstimate) gigantic klickies are the best!!! And Geobra should retire those 5-feet ones.
